Update Preview Image on V2 to V3?
I was starting to update my older V2 items and the preview image is not being updated when I publish to the new V3 auto-generated preview image. I don't know if this is by design but I would like to have the newer style preview image to add some congruity with the newer items. I exported the item and tried manually updating the preview image but it seems Steam has removed the ability to manage the preview image from the web interface. I see I can use the Steamworks API to update the image but I'm far to lazy to do that. Perhaps add a checkbox to the publish tab for "Generate new preview image" for the older items.
It always tries to update the preview whatever happens. Is there anything remarkable about the item you're trying to update? It managed to update all of my older ones.
I tried updating these two and the preview image didn't update:

I got the message "Sorry, you need to convert and import this item manually." when I opened them in Rust. So I saved the diffuse tga as a png and published it. I could have sworn when I was making items earlier that I had to upload both a preview image and screenshots; but it seems like I can only manage the screenshots now: http://i.imgur.com/RWmXYJr.png
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help reproduce.
Nope 😕
